General annotation (Comments)

Function

Envelope glycoprotein that forms spikes at the surface of virion envelope. Involved in fusion of viral and cellular membranes leading to virus entry into the host cell. Following initial binding of gp350/220 to its receptor, membrane fusion is mediated by the fusion machinery composed at least of gB and the heterodimer gH/gL. May also be involved in the fusion between the virion envelope and the outer nuclear membrane during virion morphogenesis By similarity.

Subunit structure

Homotrimer; disulfide-linked By similarity. Ref.6

Subcellular location

Virion membrane; Single-pass type I membrane protein By similarity. Host cell membrane; Single-pass type I membrane protein By similarity. Host endosome membrane; Single-pass type I membrane protein By similarity. Host Golgi apparatus membrane; Single-pass type I membrane protein By similarity. Note: During virion morphogenesis, this protein probably accumulates in the endosomes and trans-Golgi where secondary envelopment occurs. It is probably transported to the cell surface from where it is endocytosed and directed to the trans-Golgi network (TGN) By similarity. Ref.4

Post-translational modification

A proteolytic cleavage by host furin generates two subunits that remain linked by disulfide bonds Probable.

Sequence similarities

Belongs to the herpesviridae glycoprotein B family.
